Observation Narrative
Situated on the somewhat drier edge of the South River Wet Meadow, the habitat of this plot is distinguished by somewhat drier soils with a thin upper horizon of poorly decomposed peat. Shrubs, particularly Spiraea alba var. latifolia and Rosa palustris, are more abundant here, along with the wet mesic prairie grass Panicum virgatum var. virgatum.
Plot located ca. 50 m west of Kennedy Creek at a point 0.2 mi SSE of its confluence with South River.
